Esch backs Ewing (D-Ne) for 2nd District
This is huge. Marta & I got redistricted out of D-2. IF we were still in D-2, I don't know how we would choose between 2 fine candidates in the primary.

Former Nebraska congressional candidate Jim Esch has waded into the Omaha area's Democratic primary battle.
Esch on Monday backed John Ewing Jr., in an email blast to raise money for the Douglas County Treasurer.
In it, Esch said he believes Ewing can defeat Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry.
Ewing is running against State Sen. Gwen Howard for the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District.
